problems with longtube install

anybody have trouble with the A/C lines hooking back up behind the compressor? on mine the horseshoe shaped pipe hits #1 tube. can i fab up some 02 extensions with heat-shrink
and a few feet of wire? or are the wires "special"?
can stock fitting wires (accel) be routed so not to burn em up around headers?


thanks

Never heard of anyone disconnecting the A/C lines for an LT install...good luck with that.

No you dont want to just make O2 extensions, there are reasons why and I'm sure someone can chime in.

Yes you can route your wires in the stock location (with some adjustments on the pass. side) for LT clearance (I've done it and so have many friends).

well, it was also a hotcam install. everything came off the engine.
at least the wires is good news, this thing is costing me a lot more than i thought
